The chaperonin-containing tailless complex polypeptide 1 (CCT) is required in vivo for the
folding of newly synthesized tubulin and actin proteins and is thus intrinsically connected to …

Actins and tubulins are abundant cytoskeletal proteins that support diverse cellular
processes. Owing to the unique properties of these filament-forming proteins, an intricate …

The smooth and precise transition from totipotency to pluripotency is a key process in
embryonic development, generating pluripotent stem cells capable of forming all cell types …

Plant morphogenesis relies on specific patterns of cell division and expansion. It is well
established that cortical microtubules influence the direction of cell expansion [1, 2], but less …

The plant hormone gibberellic acid (GA) is a crucial regulator of growth and development.
The main paradigm of GA signaling puts forward transcriptional regulation via the …

Human embryonic stem cells can replicate indefinitely while maintaining their
undifferentiated state and, therefore, are immortal in culture. This capacity may demand …

The black rockfish (Sebastes schlegelii) is a teleost in which eggs are fertilized internally
and retained in the maternal reproductive system, where they undergo development until …

Prefoldin is a cochaperone, present in all eukaryotes, that cooperates with the chaperonin
CCT. It is known mainly for its functional relevance in the cytoplasmic folding of actin and …

Cellular functions are largely performed by proteins. Defects in the production, folding, or
removal of proteins from the cell lead to perturbations in cellular functions that can result in …

Prefoldin (PFDN) is a co-chaperone protein that is primarily known for its classic cytoplasmic
functions in the folding of actin and tubulin monomers during cytoskeletal assembly. Here …
